Question:

(a) The shift from grain to meat diets creates more demands for cereals. Why?
(b) A 250 kg cow produces 200 g of protein per day but 250 g of Methylophillus methylotrophus can produce 25 tonnes of protein Name this emerging area of research. Explain its benefits.

Answer:

  1. The shift from grain to meat diets creates more demand for cereals because it takes 3- 10 kg of grain to produce 1 kg of meat by the animal farming.
  2. This research is related to the single cell protein.

Microbes are being grown on an industrial scale as the source of good protein. Microbes like Spirulina can be grown easily on materials such as wastewater from potato processing plants, straw, molasses, animal manure and even sewage too, for the production of large quantities and can serve as food which is rich in protein, minerals, fats, carbohydrates and vitamins. Such utilization also produces the environmental pollution effects.
